Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

In Waukesha, WI, a homeowner who has owned their home for 2 years is interested in remodeling and updating their small basement. Currently, half of the basement is finished but lacks proper framing, with block walls that are painted. The space is carpeted and has outlets, but the homeowner is looking to finish the other half of the basement into an open-concept area spanning 473 sq. ft. They have opted to keep their existing flooring and a painted ceiling done by the homeowner. The project will include the installation of a Vinyl Perimeter Wall, Recessed Can Lights, a SaniDry XP Air System, and a Wall Mounted Handrail.

The homeowners have lived in their Waukesha, WI, home for five years and are ready to make significant updates. Recently, they installed egress windows in their basement and now seek to add two bedrooms to accommodate their growing family. The remodel aims to create a new bedroom downstairs for their son and convert an existing bedroom into a nursery. Additionally, they want to add doorways and update the flooring in an upstairs bedroom. With 133 square feet of space to work with, this basement finishing project will provide the homeowners with the additional living space they need while enhancing the functionality and comfort of their home.

Courtney and Andrew from Waukesha, WI, were eagerly preparing for the arrival of a new addition to their family in April. To make room for their growing family, they wanted to add a bedroom in their basement so their son could move downstairs, allowing them to transform his current bedroom into a cozy nursery.

Our experts jumped into action, transforming the unfinished basement with EverLast Vinyl Wall Systems to create a clean and durable foundation for the new bedroom. To give the space a modern and welcoming feel, we provided painted ceilings with two coats of sleek black paint and installed a six-panel door with knob hardware for a polished finish. The updated lighting, including dimmable recessed LED lights and electrical outlets, ensured the space was bright and functional. Additionally, we upgraded the electrical panel to accommodate the family’s needs, providing safety and efficiency.

The result is a beautiful, functional bedroom that gives their son a comfortable space of his own while opening up the opportunity to create a nursery upstairs for their newest family member. With the renovation complete, Courtney and Andrew can now focus on welcoming their baby with peace of mind, knowing their home is ready for this exciting new chapter.

Finishing the basement using the wrong materials won’t allow you to create a warm and safe space! Make sure you use materials made specifically for the basement.
